Using Bootc to Manage Ubuntu Hosts | Ubuntu Summit 26.04

May 27, 2026 By Canonical Ubuntu In Canonical
What if you could manage your Ubuntu hosts the same way you manage your containerized applications? Managing Ubuntu hosts traditionally means configuration management, package updates, and drift control using tools like Puppet, Chef, or shell automation. Bootc streamlines the process. A Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) Sandbox project, bootc lets you define your Ubuntu systems as OCI container images and deploy them consistently across bare metal, virtual machines, edge devices, or cloud environments.

Decoding design: How design and engineering thrive together in open source

May 22, 2026 By Miguel Divo In Canonical
Open source thrives on engineering-driven processes. Fast feedback loops, terminal tools, Git workflows: they’re the lifeblood of how we build software in the open. But for software to truly excel, we need to create user experiences that empower people to use them. I wanted to bring this conversation into the spotlight as part of Canonical’s Open Design initiatives. What better way than at FOSS Backstage 2026 Berlin?

Developing web apps with local LLM inference

May 21, 2026 By Abdelrahman Hosny In Canonical
I’ve yet to meet a developer that enjoys working with metered AI APIs. The need to pay for every API call in development works in direct opposition to the ethos of rapid iteration, and it’s easy for the costs to get out of hand. That’s why Canonical has created a different approach to building AI-powered applications; one where the model lives inside your app, not behind a pay-per-token HTTP call.

Rethinking BYOD security: protecting data without trusting devices

May 13, 2026 By Bertrand Boisseau In Canonical
BYOD (bring your own device) has always looked better on paper than it does in real life. The promise is clear: let people use the gadgets they already own. Less friction, lower costs, and more freedom. But when security and privacy are non-negotiable, the conversation around BYOD usually ends quickly. Not because BYOD is a bad idea, but because the model behind it doesn’t quite work. With BYOD, you’d be trying to secure something that isn’t meant to be trusted.

May 8, 2026 By Alexander Mattoni In Cycle
There have been TWO major kernel vulnerabilities announced this week. Copy-Fail (CVE-2026-31431) was announced on April 30th.

What Is a Linux Server? Everything You Need to Know (2026)

May 5, 2026 By LogicMonitor In LogicMonitor
An open-source foundation for resilient infrastructure: on-prem, cloud, and hybrid. IT downtime costs organizations an average of $9,000 per minute, or more than $1 million per hour. That’s real money lost when websites crash, transactions fail, or internal systems go offline. For many organizations, avoiding those losses starts with choosing the right server operating system (OS). Why? The OS sets the foundation for how stable, secure, and cost-efficient your infrastructure will be.
